Want to get better at Mario Kart DS? Follow these steps to greatly improve your game!

Steps

1

Start on easier levels first. 50cc should be what you start at. After getting a feel for the game, move up to the higher levels.

2

Learn to snake. This is a racing technique that involves constant mini-turbos, so you're always at a higher speed.

3

Choose a kart/character that fits you. The best karts for snaking are Dry Bones' karts, Dry Bomber and Standard DB. If you are just beginning, a more balanced kart might suit you better.

4

Test your skills on Wi-Fi. Online matches are a great way to see how you stack up against other racers! Even if you aren't very good at first, be sure to take note of the strategies and techniques used by others so you can use them to improve your game.

Warnings

There are several Wi-Fi players out there that like to cheat by using their Action Replays. Don't be intimidated by their incredibly high hacked win rate, and race against them like any other player. You may need to develop a few techniques on the fly to beat them.
